Get Selena's stunning tousled hair style!

Selena Gomez is at it again! Flaunting her gorgeous, long, flowing locks right in front of our very eyes. How dare she! Miss Gomez was in a shoot for Adidas recently and her long tousled hair flowed down passed her shoulders. The light caught the different tones of her brown hair adding more depth to the colour especially at the ends. You can easily recreate Selena's hairstyle in this photo by using Image Hair Extensions to achieve length and volume. 
 
 
 
Simply clip in the extensions and then style. To achieve a tousled look you could use your straighteners, or big barrel curling tongs, from the midway point of your hair through to the end. Perhaps the easiest way to create the loose curls that Selena is rocking is simply to clip in your real hair extensions and then use a heated roller set to do all the hard work, Then just spray to hold. Go on give it a try, there's nothing to lose and everything to gain, especially if you end up looking as gorgeous as the beautiful Selena Gomez!

Miley Cyrus is rocking her new look well !

OMG! What can we say?! They go on and on and on and on and on etc etc, you get the picture! Yep that's right we are talking about Miley Cyrus and her super long, toned legs. They are to die for, what girl wouldn't want a pair of legs like this?! Her appearance is literally stunning in a tiny pair of denim hot pants and a black satin t-shirt top. Miley's sky scraping platform heels are silver which adds another dimension to the outfit. By opting for a metallic reflective colour it stops her shoes from looking too heavy and clumpy for the outfit. 
 
 
 
This girl is one confident, fresh faced twenty year old who oozes  glamour and style. Her pixie hair cut compliments her face shape and proves that she is a true beauty. Only a natural beauty can carry off a super short hair cut with ease. Miss Cyrus has opted for a trendy, bold blonde colour on top but contrasts this with a darker colour underneath. Here at Image Hair Extensions we love this look. 
 
She is brave to try and style like this but to be able to rock it the way she does she truly does deserves our envy! Would you be daring enough to go this short? In fairness though, there is always the option of falling back on our real clip in hair extensions if you don't like it and want your long hair back!  We wish we had the courage to try this style, who knows maybe one day we will!

The New parlux 385 Hairdryer

Here at IMAGE Hair Extensions we're always on the lookout for the next best hair and beauty product and will regularly blog on the things that we love the most. Our latest favourite in the IMAGE offices is definitely the new hairdryer from the professional parlux range. It is called the Power Light, as it is as you can imagine both very light and extremely powerful - in fact we were shocked at just how light it actually was, and one of the staffers even asked whether it was a sample product without the motor inside it!



The power of the 2150 watt hairdryer literally blows you away, but more importantly than that are the super stylish colours that you can buy it in. Our resident hairdresser bought the hot pink colour which is absolutely gorgeous but I know a lot of the girls were envious of the orange colour, which is perfectly timed for summer. It also has ceramic and ionic technology built in to it so you can rest assured that the Parlux 385 Power Light hairdryer will leave your locks looking sleek, shiny and like you have just stepped out of the salon!

We already know you love our clip in hair extensions, that's a given, but we are always trying to keep ahead of the times and point you in the right direction. We like this Parlux hairdryer as it is kind to your hair, and your human hair extensions, which makes our job easier as healthy hair will make your extensions look even better and much more natural. If we could offer you only one piece of advice, it would be to check out this hairdryer!

Vanessa Hudgens at Coachella 2013

Vanessa Hudgens attended Coachella recently and we adored her style during the festival.  The floral dress she chose for the first day was stylish, summery and girly. The dress showed a sexy side to her personality but yet she managed to remain classy. The floor length floral print dress clung to every curve of her svelte figure. Vanessa accessorised with beads which gave the whole outfit a bohemian chic feel. Her hair fell loosely around her shoulders in a carefree tousled style which can be easily recreated using our cheap clip in hair extensions
 
 
  
On the second day of the festival Miss Hudgens wore a frilly bandeau crop top and a matching pair of tiny white shorts. This outfit was fun and fresh. It showed off her perfectly toned and tanned stomach and legs which are the envy of millions of ladies around the world. The young star chose to wear her hair in curls and she added a red and pink flower headband. This headband gave the whole look a very 60's kinda hippy feel which we love! We think Austin Butler (her beau) is one lucky guy!

Did women really used to have more class?

Have we lost our class? Were women of the past more elegant and  sophisticated? After being asked this very question ourselves recently, we at Image Hair Extensions have been pondering and debating the answer. 
 
You look at the style icons that spring to mind when you think of the past...Marilyn Monroe, Bridget Bardot, Audrey Hepburn and Rita Hayworth (to name just a few) and what words would you use to describe these ladies? Classy, elegant, sophisticated, respected, beautiful, stunning, attractive are the adjectives we came up with. Each of theses strong, powerful women commanded respect both in and out of their field. Women strived to be like them and men wanted to be with them. They did not seem to be hung up on body image and embraced their beautiful curves and womanly figures. They dressed in clothes that flattered their figures and left much to the imagination. However, does this mean they were classier than women in present day times? 
 
Times have changed and women are now allowed to express themselves more than ever. This often happens through fashion, hair and image. Woman now have access to magazines, the Internet , catalogues, tv and  newspapers and we are constantly being bombarded with images that we should want to embrace. Lady Gaga, Beyonce, Victoria Beckham, Kim Kardashian and the one and only SATC character Carrie Bradshaw are all women we want to be like but each of these ladies has to dress to impress and stand out from the crowd and therefore has to be daring and dare we say it a little bit provocative. Just because women now show a bit more skin and wear tighter clothes doesn't mean they have lost their class. Surely class comes from within and whether you dress like Kate Middleton, or Nicole Scherzinger, we feel it is how you conduct yourself when in the company of others and not what you are wearing which makes you a strong, sophisticated, classy woman.

Rihanna's skrillex gets voted worst hairstyle of the year!

So Rihanna's 'skrillex' hairstyle has been voted the worst hairstyle of the year but is this a fair label to give one of the most influential females of the last decade? She is known for her style and image, yet, she has still been chosen as the unlucky winner of a terrible award.  Here at Image Hair Extensions we have been debating her new award and if it is justified. There is a split of opinions. 

The 'yes she deserves it' side. Rihanna is a stunningly beautiful woman but she has opted for long hair on one side and a shaved style on the other. This is unsymmetrical, unusual and we think a bit grungy. It does not follow the pattern she has had over the last few years of trendy hairstyles that we take to the hairdressers to copy. This style is lovely on one side and punky on the other side, a complete contrast that doesn't match. The award is deserved and will hopefully halt her from making another similar mistake. It is one hairstyle we will NOT be copying!
 
Worst Hairstyle of the year? You decide!
The 'hell no, she doesn't deserve it' side. Rihanna's hairstyle was voted worse than Kelly Osbourne's Mohawk...what.......??? Seriously?! Whilst Rihanna's  hairstyle is a bit out there and a bit different we actually like it. Only a truly beautiful woman could pull off a hairstyle like this and she does with ease. The style accentuates her cheekbones and her dark eyes. If you glance quickly at the picture of her it just looks like she has swept her hair to the side. Her confidence shines through and we like that about her. She isn't afraid of trying different things or what people think and that's why girls around the world follow her fashion sense, would you be brave enough to clip in hair extensions and recreate Ri-Ri's style though!? She does not deserve this terrible title, especially when there are so many other hair disasters out there to choose from.

Our arguments have been presented to you in a court of fashion, it's now time for you to decide. Is Rihanna guilty of hair crime or not? Take your time to make a decision but remember once you do decide your decision is final!
